THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, MO) DAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1928, OPENING ATTRACTIONS IN WASHINGTON . THEATERS STRAND—"Kuddling Kuties.” ‘Max Fields and his “Kuddling Kuties™ are at the Strand for th2 current week | with a purlesque show that is crammed to the brim with snappy songs, dances | ard comedy. | Maz, well known on the Mutual wheel, and his assistant, Eddie Murphy, are on hand with amusing songs and their parts in the various sketches are an improvement over the work accomplish- | ed by most of the comedians in the previous attractions. | iwvLeona. who captains the feminine | £lae o ¢ &7~we offers some neat danc- ing, along with the singing of popular melodics and taking parts in the short | acts. | Others in the cast are Heonri Miller, Ruth Donald, Me!

PALACE—“Docks of New York.” “Docks of New York.” featured at| Loew's Palace Theatcr this week, like “Street Angel,” is notable for three thinos—superb , acting, magnificont photography and a rather weak plot. Betty Compson and George Bancroft interpret their roles in a manner to lift the latter from sordidness.

He put his experience: on paper and a serics of best sellers was the result. With the fortune thus gained he estab- lished himself in Beverly Hills and started throwing literary bombs, as it were, at the movie colony in general and the more brilliant stars in particu- lar. Recently Paramount bought the creen rights for one of Tully's books, eggars of Life,” and what came of it is shown at Metropolitan this week. From this standpoint the picture should pruve interesting. The producers call the picture a special and by way of proving it they endow it with <three star players, a.mespheric sound accompaniment and a litile talking. What they managed to turn out is something else again, for the film, though inter g. does not exactly “click.” Its virtue lies chiefly in providing Wallace Beery a chance to | return to a heavy dramatic role, Louise Brooks to wear masculine clothes and Richard Arlen to subordinate his looks to his acting. The film is essentially sordid.

Of prime importance among the sub- idiaries is the first Pathe sound news eel. The synchronization is some dis- tance in advance of that which has accompanied other short subjects of the same type.

Flirting is impossible of solo accomplishment, but she finds many willing to plays the game. No sooner does she arrive home with party favors, which are tossed into a closet to join other momentos of happy hours, than the telephone rings for another dinner date, dance or entertainment. This ponularity somewhat disturbs the tran- quillity of Count Phillipe de Castelle, who has been attracted to te lady, but venture and fears that their love for excitement would interfere seriously | with domestic happin This_state | of affairs involves the fate of two | vounger p-ople. Denise, the demure Cinderclla-like daughter of Mme.

But somehow Cinderella has met her Princ~ Charming. who' is’ Hubert, nephew of Count Philibne. The count will not | consent to Hubert’s marriage to Denise. He has Hubert listen in while he pro- noses a trip to Venice to the charming widow. She surprises him by accenting | the proposa' of marriage, which d-lights the count and opens the doors of hap- piness to Hubert and Denise. A Vitaphone feature presents Bennv Rubin impersonating an usher at “Abie’s Irish Rose.” He explains the game of foot ball in an amusing manner.

COLUMBIA—"White Shadows in the South Seas.” “White Shadows in the South Scas,” featuring Monte Blue and Raquel at_the Columbia, deals civili- a slap in the face. It depicts ruthless white man of civilization 'ruining the lives of the simple natives of the South Sea Islands. | Amid the splendor of the tropies in the white man has imposed his stores for trade.

In an effort to do away with Dr. Lloyd, he is tied wpon a ship and sct afloat. A typhoon casts him upon a smiling island, where the natives have never Sturtevant Blowers For Burning Buckwheat Coal FRIES, BEALL & SHARP seen a white man before. As time moves on and the peace of the climate soothes him, Dr. Lloyd takes as his bride the lovely daughter of the chieftain. One day he finds a magnificent pearl, and the greed of his race comes to him. Although this shadow passes over him, a ship comes to the shores, Dr. Lloyd finds he cannot save the simple people, and civilization begins its_reign. The beauty of the settings and the educational value of the many scenes | give the picture an exceptional cha -‘ acter. The theme song that runs throughout is pretty, but not as suit- able as might be to the picture. An educational feature, Vitaphone unit and news reel complete the ex- cellent program. i EARLE—"Show Girl.” | Alice White, a clever subtitle writer | and a synchronized score make *Show | Girl” a hilarious comedy as well as| carefully pointed satire. | With a bottle of peroxide and a real | chance, Alice White shoots up into the | front row stellars and proves that, in | addition to that intangible “It,” she has | edy sense and capable of real acting. | The fact that she has gome “light- headed” fits in ideally with her L}'pl-l | cally blonde personality. | This is the story of a girl who mndl“ good in a series of well planned news- paper “scandals,” jumping from stenog- rapher to show girl and having “auto- biagraphies” written about her in the | this picture, which is almos tabloids, The whole thing is clever and pointed satire done with a lightness of touch and worked out through a serics of highly comic, not to mention swiftly melodramatic, sequences. The scenes shift continually from the Dugan flat on the East Side to glit- tering cabarets and sumptuous Park Avenue apartments. The picture has as many musical hits as a good mu- sical comedy. A cast of exceptional ability, with Kate Price and James Finlayson as the “Show Girl's” parents; Charles De- laney, as the cub reporter, who brinas her to fame and the altar; Donald Reed, in the role of a_jealous Spanish dancer, all offer excellent support to entirely rines. fleet.

It is an interesting tale, crowded with realism until that last scene, and pho- tographed with exceptional gkill and artistic attention to detail. On the stage, a Blue Revue, blue in color as well as musical motif, provides some excellent entertainment, featur- ing a charming dance number with the “Blue Danube” waltz accompaniment; Bobby (Uke) Henshaw with his blues- dispelling nonsense, the Small Broth- S, expert tap dancers; Irene Taylor, Who sings the blues, and Pelle and Cola, a pair of acrobats, in a strong-man act, Which is good. Added to these are the Gamby-Hale Girls in the chorus num- bers, who also do the feature dances, and Wesley Eddy, of course, presiding over all, assisted by his syncopators.

Hugh Herpert, Charles E. Ger- rard, Ruth Cherrington and Emile Chautard appear in supporting roles. The stage is handsomely set for the resplendent and varied costumes of the 16 Fox Tillerettes, who certainly justify their appellation of “precision dancers.” Gordon and King, tap dancers, score a hit; Ruth Denice displays more per- sonality and better mastery of her art than choice of songs, and Fritz and Jean Hubert give an impersonation of two pre-prohibition drunks. The Ar- mell sisters, burlesque adagio dancers, give a lively exhibition in which the usual order is reversed, and the three Ormondes give a pleasing version of “The March of the Wooden Soldiers.” | Tribute is paid to Armistice day by | the playing of “Taps” by brasses and | chimes in most impressive fashion.
